The Associate Consultant Role
O C&C is recruiting for summer interns in our US offices. The summer internship program is designed to give students a fully immersive and realistic experience of life as an Associate Consultant at our office. As a summer intern, you will be expected to support the delivery of strategic advice to clients through the preparation and delivery of analytic modules. Summer interns will be staffed on projects and are expected to actively contribute to case work. The summer internship role will include a variety of data gathering and analysis assignments, as well as interpretation and presentation of findings. Interns will work directly with all levels of the engagement team and are encouraged to be involved in a variety of internal office-wide initiatives.
We have a set number of vacancies for each of our offices (Boston & New York) therefore location choice will be first come first serve. Please note that which office you intern in will not dictate which office you would work in if a full-time offer is received; you will have a choice of either.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
